I think the term "building up" may be wrong for Calgary, perhaps "intensification" is a better term? Infills going in to the inner-city communities are helping add more density to the area.
Density doesn't have to be only 30 storey condo towers, I'm hoping to see a mix of tower, mid-rise, rowhouses, infills, and yes even single family in the ideal neighbourhood. If we could incorporate them all into a community with easy access to retail, commercial, schools, and services I think we'd have a winner.
